    Great… can’t wait for politicians to use this as a way to pass “common sense” legislation banning 3D printers.

      I wonder if there is some archive or torrent for STL files, like an archive of thingiverse or something. Would be nice to archive that just in case.

        Is that even necessary? Anyone with a CAD tool can recreate the 3D printed parts from a glance and a few specs.

        It’s literally a tube. Which—to be fair—is a “weapon of mass destruction” according to President Bush (the other war criminal president).

      LOL. Like they “ban” some guns?.

      Printers are not hard to assemble from parts.
